Event deposits in lake sediments provide invaluable chronicles of geodynamic and climatic
natural hazards on multi-millennial timescales. Sediment archives are particularly useful for …

After more than 100 years of earthquake research, earthquake forecasting, which relies on
knowledge of past fault rupture patterns, has become the foundation for societal defense …

Forecasting large earthquakes along active faults is of critical importance for seismic hazard
assessment. Statistical models of recurrence intervals based on compilations of …

Abstract The Hikurangi subduction margin, New Zealand, has not produced large
subduction earthquakes within the short written historic period (~ 180 years) and the …

The Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) is an exceptional geologic environment for recording
evidence of land-level changes, tsunamis, and ground motion that reveals at least 19 great …

Turbidite palaeoseismology has produced arguably the most comprehensive multimillennial
scale records of subduction-zone earthquakes but is underpinned by techniques that are …

Subduction zone earthquakes result in some of the most devastating natural hazards on
Earth. Knowledge of where great (moment magnitude M≥ 8) subduction zone earthquakes …

Infrequent extreme events such as large earthquakes pose hazards and have lasting
impacts on landscapes and biogeochemical cycles. Sediments provide valuable records of …

The loss of life and economic consequences caused by several recent earthquakes
demonstrate the importance of develo** seismically safe building codes. The …

Accurate probabilistic seismic hazard analysis requires a good knowledge of the recurrence
parameters of the strongest earthquakes in a region. Due to the typical short temporal span …
